Chapter one: Now, at Last

Sesshomaru sighed as he hung up the phone. Once more he had sealed the deal on another company. He was, after all, the most successful business man around. He was famous for taking smaller companies and easily taking them over. A small smirk reached his lips as he leaned back into his chair. Yes, today was a very successful day. He got rid of at least five incompetent workers and found a good secretary as well. One that wasn't trying to jump his bones.

Seeing the time the silver haired youkai stood and grabbed his jacket. He had time to go home, pick his daughter up from his father's, and go to the lounge later on in the afternoon. He was meeting his two business partners there as well.

"Are you leaving for the day Taisho-sama?" Sango, the new secretary asked him as he left his office.

Sesshomaru gave a small nod towards her. "When you're finished there, you're more then welcome to take the rest of the day off." He walked to the elevator and waited for it to show up. Once it did, he felt, leaving the shocked woman sitting there. He really had to be in a good mood if he was letting her go home early.

"Grandpa! Grandpa!" Rin squealed happily as she ran up to her grandfather. "Lookie at what Rin made for you!" The small girl held up a crown of flowers, while grinning happily.

The silver haired man brightened up as he grabbed his granddaughter around the waist and swung her up, making sure to throw her slightly in the air to catch her. "It's beautiful Rin!" He said as she placed it on top of his crown. "But I feel bad. I didn't get you anything as a thank you gift."

Rin giggled and kissed his cheek. "Rin doesn't need gifts grandpa! Rin is just glad that you like it!"

Touga laughed as he nuzzled her cheek making her giggle once more. "I don't just like it Rin, I love it. Maybe I should take you away from that busy pup of mine and just keep you here forever!"

"As much as I'm sure you would love that father, I would not enjoy that at least." Sesshomaru's flat voice came from behind the elder inu.

"Alas, my stick in the mud son has come to ruin my fun once more." He sighed dramatically.

Seeing her father, Rin wiggled out of Touga's arms and ran over to her father, wrapping her arms around his leg. "Rin missed you papa!" Exclaimed the small five year old.

Offering her a small smile, Sesshomaru picked up his small daughter and held her in his arms. "Ready to go home Rin?"

Rin nodded and gave him a wide smile, showing him that she was still indeed missing her two front teeth. "Rin is ready! She made sure that she put all her stuff out by the front door so when her papa came to pick her up she had everything ready!"

He chuckled at the fact that she referred to herself in the third person. "Go ahead and head to the car Rin. I'll be there in a moment." He put her down to see the girl give a nod and run off.

Touga shook his head as he watched his eldest son act like a father towards the small girl. It was only a couple of centuries ago where Sesshomaru declared that he would never take such a weak human under his wing. Yet four years ago he found that small child curled up in an ally with burses and cuts all over her body. That's when Sesshomaru did something that the elder inu never would have thought he would do. Sesshomaru took the small child in, nursed her back to health and proceeded to adopt her as his own. He wouldn't declare her as his heir counting she was human, but he still cared for her as if she was his own.

"You know Sesshomaru she will need a mother sooner or later." Touga said, testing the waters on his son mating again.

Sesshomaru looked over at his father, his eyes narrowing at him for a moment. "Father, as much as you will badger me about it, I do simply not desire a mate at this current moment. If I were you father, I would stop pestering me about it."

Touga shrugged. At least he tried to ask him anyway. "Alright, well I guess I'll see little Rin tomorrow?"

"No. I took off tomorrow so I could spent time with her. I believe she told me she would like me to take her to the zoo tomorrow. I've realized that I haven't spent that much time with her as I should be."

"About time." His father muttered under his breath. This morning Rin screamed and cried that she didn't want her father to go and how he promised her that he was going to spent more time with the small girl.

"Papa!" Rin yelled, hanging half way out of the window. "Rin's hungry!"

Sesshomaru sighed as he bided goodbye to his father before heading off to his car.

"So whose watching that brat of yours?" Kouga asked Sesshomaru as the taiyoukai sat down next to him.

Golden eyes narrowed at the okami from his words. "You would best hold your tongue Kouga. Bound by blood or not, Rin is still my daughter. And she is doing fine thank you." He loved being in the jazz lounge. Though it would have been better if he didn't have the company that he did. Kouga Wolf and Onigumo Naraku may have been his business partners, but they were a bother to him. While Kouga was an okami prince, he was very bash and tended to lose his cool faster then Sesshomaru's pathetic half brother Inuyasha. Onigumo on the other hand was very manipulative. That was how he gained his position. By tricking and manipulating others to do his dirty work. If it wasn't because of the type of business that the two were in, Sesshomaru would have nothing to do with them.

"So did you hear about the singer for tonight is?" Kouga smirked. "I hear she's got the body of a goddess and a voice of an angel."

Sesshomaru arched an eyebrow. "I believe we came here to speak business. Not ogle at the singer."

Naraku snorted at Sesshomaru's words. "Relax Sesshomaru. Maybe for once you'll enjoy something besides making other's break down and cry."

The silver haired youkai glared at the Hanyou just as the sound of a piano started up and the lights dimmed slightly.

Turning his golden gaze over, his brain instantly stopped from the site before him.

Now at last I know

What a fool I've been

For I've lost the last love I shall ever win

Her voice echoed though the room, men's jaws dropped at the sight of her. Her long black hair cascaded down her bare back, her dark blue eyes giving them a ‘come hither' look. A look that would make any man hard. Unfortunately Sesshomaru wasn't spared either.

And/Now at last I see

How my heart was blind

To the joys before me That I left behind

She wore a sweetheart dress with a waist slit that showed off one of those oh so smooth legs. Legs that begged to be wrapped around a waist. The rose red dress seemed to glitter in the light as she moved from a seated position on the piano to a laying position, her leg up to show off the matching high heals.

When the wind was fresh

On the hills And the stars were new in the sky

And a lark was heard in the still Where was I Where was I

She slipped off the grand piano and began to walk down a small set of stairs into the crowd. Some men reached over to touch her, only to be denied as she pushed them slightly with a glove covered hand.

When the spring is cold

Where do robins go

What makes winters lonely

Now at last I know

She walked over to their table, her voice as seductive as her eyes. She first looked over at Kouga, then Naraku, her eyes only gazing at Sesshomaru for a moment. But that moment seemed forever for the taiyoukai.

When the wind was fresh

On the hills And the stars were new in the sky

And a lark was heard in the still

Where was I Where was I

She began to walk back towards the stage, her dark blue eyes glancing behind her once more to look over at Sesshomaru, a slight smirk on her lips as her hips swayed. Hips that made him want to placed his hands at and just hold her still as he fucked her over and over again.

When the spring is cold

Where do robins go

What makes winters lonely

Now at last I know

Finally the last notes of the song ended and the lights went out, causing everyone to clap loudly. Other men called out to see if she would come back on stage. But when the lights returned back on, the enigma of a woman was no longer there.

"Quite a show wasn't it Sesshomaru?" Kouga smirked, seeing the expression on the youkai's face. Normally Sesshomaru never showed expression. But not then. Right then he was showing so much lust in those golden eyes. "Wanna go backstage to meet that woman?"

Sesshomaru looked over at him, his expression gathered back once more. "Take me to go see her." He demanded. Yes, by the end of the night he was going to have her. She would be his.
